Would it be unethical to teach simple magic tricks on a magic website?

The entire site is not teaching magic tricks, but I want to offer a few easy to do magic tricks to readers.

The website is going to have news, videos, articles, links, etc.

It's so good to see a young person not afraid to ask for advice.

Your biggest problem will be the other sort - you know - the ones who think they know everything; that every word from their pudgy little mouths is gospel.

They'll be running you down on forums, taking up petitions and generally making a lot of noise but little sense.

I advise you to ignore them - spoilt brats without a clue.

I'm curious as to why so, so, many magician's websites feel so compelled to expose tricks. Who wrote the memo saying that this was such a clear path to web-success?

Stick to the same two-dozen tricks that have appeared on the back of cereal boxes for the last 40 years and I doubt anyone will complain.

...of course, they're probably on all the other websites, too.

I think teaching some simple tricks on your website is okay, but what does it accomplish? I don't think it creates traffic because there so many sites that do that 6the returns are probably small unless you expose tons iof stuff which is uinethical unless its all ytour own material.

I think it depends on how you advertise it. Obviously I'm in agreement with Dan that as long as you are showing the ones from the back of the cereal box, who cares?

I doubt many adults will care but telling kids at the end of your show to visit your website and you'll show them how to do a trick might actually work.

Good luck.
